Why Attend Medical School

Growing up I seen my mom, aunts, uncles and grandfather struggle with the death of my grandmother. Everyday there was a new struggle whether it was getting up to go to work or eat. My grandmother died of breast cancer at the age of fifty two, it devastated my family. The question asked “Is why do I want to go into the medical field?” I want to go into the medical field because I want to be able to make a difference in this world. I want to do research to cure chronic diseases, I want to be able to tell a family that everything will be alright, and I want to be able to save a family the devastation that my family felt.

There is a constant push and pull within my mind: “Should I, or should I not?” I’m never sure of whether I should do something, which has caused me a great deal of inner turmoil. One of the main questions I’ve been asking myself as of late is whether I should pursue medical school. So far, I haven’t made a decision, but I learned something of importance when I was trying to come to a conclusion of this problem. Recently, I’ve started asking myself “If I do this, will I be satisfied?” and I think this will be key to answering my dilemma.

In order to continue working toward turning my vision into reality, I plan to keep working hard in everything that I do. Pushing myself to limits I’ve never thought of will allow me to reach my goals. I will go to the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville

My goal in preparing to attend graduate school is to obtain a career in research and teach as an English professor with applied studies in cognitive psychology. While I do plan on working in an academic setting, I am interested in researching how psychology and literature complement one another and how combining the two may improve academic performance in students from underrepresented communities. I developed an interest in cognitive function as a teenager but never thought to pursue it at the graduate level until I began studying at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. It was here that I began majoring in English and started to really immerse myself in the academic community.

From the University of Kentucky, I plan on attending Auburn University for veterinary school. Auburn is one of the best veterinary schools in the United States, and they also offer in state tuition for a certain number of students from Kentucky because Kentucky doesn’t have their own veterinary school. Auburn is my dream school, as well as one of the cheapest options I have for becoming a veterinarian. I will specialize in small animal practice there, and then when I graduate as a Doctor, I will come back to my hometown and open my own

I grew up hearing about Maya Angelou and all the wonderful accomplishments she made when I participated in the Zeta Phi Beta Youth Sorority. Although she is an AKA, she is looked up to by all sororities for the courageous movements she participated in. Not only did she use her wisdom for the benefit of her career, but she gave back to those in need of assistance. I hold these tributes very close to myself as well. I wish not to only succeed, but I dream to help others around me and give back to the community. Once I get a degree in Biology Pre-Med, I’d like to go to medical school to specialize in gynecology and obstetrics. After witnessing my mother struggle being a single parent and the death of my brother, I decided I wanted to someday open

I want to volunteer for the Avicenna Community Health Center because I want to be involved with an organization that provides humanistic care to various individuals in the community, as well as gain valuable experience to become the best physician that I can possibly be.

If I can get a 27 or higher on the ACT, I want to proceed my learning abilities at Ohio State University. Knowing plans sometimes fail, I would also like to attend Marshall University or The University of Cincinnati. Growing up watching Greys Anatomy, it made me want to become a surgeon. Although I would still love to continue with that career, I believe the cons that come with that job wouldn’t work for me. Knowing a few surgeons, I can observe that they don’t get to spend a lot of time with their family because they’re always working. I do not think I could miss out on so much of my children’s life, or spending the holidays with my family. I love children, so I think that a good career to pursue would be a nurse in the neonatal intensive care unit. I would get to spend all day working with babies and save some lives along the way! I think that this is a very special job because you get to experience special moments with the child and their parents and help them through this process as their child becomes healthy enough to go home. Not to mention, this job pays very well, and you have reasonable shifts that can work around your schedule. I hope to live up to my own expectations of my life and pursue these dreams that I have created for myself in the near

I plan on going to Neosho County Community College to get my career in nursing. I want to go into the field of Pediatric nursing to be more specific. I love working kids as they inspire me to be at my best. My career goal is to work at a children's hospital. My hobbies include babysitting my wonderful nieces, reading a good book, spending time with my sister and family, and shopping with friends. I didn’t find out what I wanted to do with my life until my mother introduced me to being a pediatric nurse.

Hello I am Marcus Mims, and there are many reasons why I am interested in becoming a Doctor. A Doctor is something who has the ability to impact someone’s life in a positive way. My life explains how much impact a Doctor can have on someone’s life. I am an identical twin born premature at 26 weeks weighing 1 pound 8 ounces, spending 68 days in the NICU. I was born at Michael Reese Hospital which was located in the Bronzville neighborhood on the south side of Chicago . The fact I was born premature, caused me to have other medical issues such as, being diagnosed with Hydrocephalus at three months old. In the early 2000’s Michael Reese was facing huge financial problems so my health records were transferred to Children’s Memorial Hospital which was located in the

As a nursing student at Armstrong, I have to take 62 credit hours of classes to receive my Associates of Science. This is a requirement before applying to the nursing program. Out of that 62, only 22 of those credit hours are related to the medical field. The other 40 hours are completely different courses in various areas of studies. I think that this is a huge benefit for a college student. We can learn many tips and tricks that can help enhance us later on in life. When you are knowledgeable in many areas, you make yourself more versatile and sought-after.

I'm sorry for such the late reply, I got completely caught up in studying for midterms!

Medical College means an educational institution to provide medical education. These institutions can vary greatly from stand-alone colleges to conglomerates offering training related in all areas of medical care. The term is identifiable with Medical School as used in america and some other nations around the world.

Ever since I was ten, I knew what I wanted to grow up to become, a doctor. Eight years later, and I still have not completely decide on what type of physician I want to be. This is because every career in the medical field interests me. However, when I decided on this career field, I knew one thing for sure. I knew it entailed several different science courses. I was happy with this because I always loved science. What I did not realize was the fact that it also meant I would have to take two semesters of English after high school. I never had as much interest in English as I did for most other subjects. Therefore, due to my lack of interest, English was always an area where I struggled. That is the reason, when I signed up for classes for my first semester at Wayne State University, I was hesitant to sign up for English 1020. Even though I was hesitant, I knew this was a course I had to take. I promised myself that I would take this class, and I would put in much more effort than I had previously. This effort was mainly enforced because of the extremely high standards that medical schools hold their applicants to (the average GPA to get into the Wayne State Medical School is 3.75). Since the beginning of this class, I have improved in each of the writing outcomes, which include reading, writing, researching, and reflecting, due to the effort I have put into excelling in this class.

Although I have wanted to become a medical doctor since a young age, I have constantly challenged my career choice, but my experiences have shown me that becoming a medical doctor is still the career I want to pursue. Being a small child with parents still in school gave me many unique experiences. For example, my mother would take me with her when she would teach a late-night nutritional science lab at South Dakota State University, which was where she studied, to give my father silence to study. Often times, I would often take plastic beakers and flasks filled with water and pretended to mix chemicals. I had my own drawer filled with used filter papers, micro-spatulas in different sizes and stirring rods collected over the years in the same lab my mother taught in for several years. Other times, I would look into the fume hoods where stirrers were set up and I tried to figure out what was being stirred and why or I would observe the researchers in the next-door lab and asked them questions when they were sitting on the benches waiting for the reaction to complete or taking notes for the next experiment. These experiences were the start of my interest in science and figuring how and why stuff worked.
